New Year arrived, and the entire capital was in a festive mood.
Their lives improved year after year, and their hopes had grown, so New Year celebrations grew increasingly elaborate.
Gu Qingyao gave the children at home red packets, and on the second day of the New Year, she brought Little One back to her family to pay their New Year's call.
That day, the entire Gu family was present.
Eldest Uncle's family, Third Uncle's family, Gu Yunshen, and Qiao Yuying were all there.
Eldest Cousin and Third Cousin were already married, but their wives had not gone to visit their families. Instead, they were here at Second Uncle's home.
They all knew that Gu Qingyao would visit her family on the second day of the New Year, so they instinctively set the day aside. They either visited their families on the first day of the New Year or after the second day.
Sometimes, this was the best gauge of a person's abilities.
